Cristiano Ronaldo's aerial prowess was on display Wednesday, as the Juventus striker soared to score his club's winner just before halftime at Sampdoria.
Ronaldo out-jumped a defender for Alex Sandro's cross and headed home with authority to give Juventus the 2-1 lead in the 45th minute, with the Serie A power hanging on to win by that scoreline.
Ronaldo has now scored in five consecutive games in all competitions for Juventus, which provisionally took a three-point lead on Inter Milan atop the league table. Ronaldo's 10 goals put him in a three-way tie for second in the league, with Lazio's Ciro Immobile well clear with 17.
